What happens when you cancel a delete operation?

I accidentally pressed the delete button on an important folder with thousands of individual files inside amounting to 35 GB. Immediately I closed the operation by clicking on the 'x' mark. Checking recycle bin doesn't show anything deleted for the day, am I screwed? Does stopping delete partway through return the deleted files?

Some of them are almost certainly "deleted", and gone.
Depends on how soon you cancelled.

I cancelled around after around 2 seconds. Is there any way to recover them using a program?

Not sure. Nothing essential* seems to be missing anyway, I'll just assume I lost a few old files. Thanks for the help!
